IGMP static is not pingable. It makes it so the group can still be fast
switched. IGMP join is pingable but it slows down the forwarding of the
packets because the multicast group is then process switched.

Subject: Internetwork lab 7 task 7.1 to 7.4
The IGMP Static-group command was configured on Vlan with the multicast
address 230.12.84.3. Should not this be configured on VLAN as question
states
that the media server is located on vlan 4 and multicasting a video feed
to
the address 230.12.84.3. Having not any real world experience with
multicasting I may be confused with the wording, but whatever I have
read so
far it always occured to me that in a lab enviorment you could configure
igmp-join group to test the multicast application.
So the task states that host on vlan 4 can access to this feed, and I
thought
that the group address 230.12.84.3 should be configured on vlan 4 as
there
resides the media server.
Will the command IGMP-STATIC group allows to ping the group address or
only
IGMP-JOIN group is pingable in order to test multicast in the lab
enviorment?

Ahmed
